Storage : a place for everything… and each thing has a place. The art of tidying : from cutlery to house linen, to books and CDs.

Clothes: It all began with chests, the ancestor in order. In all civilizations, there are chests and cases. They held the riches of a tribe or house, or more specifically, the wedding dowry. With the years, man settled down, became sedentary; that is when wardrobes, chest of drawers, semainiers and chiffonniers appear (the latest being a small but narrow chest of draws), that will respond to man’s need: one place for everything. Drawers (re-editions of grain, notary and apothecary pieces of furniture) are now squeezed in the entrance, in the lounge or even in the kitchen. These very useful pieces have infinite storage resources.

Papers: These afore-mentioned pieces of furniture are cousins of writing desks and cabinets that will allow you to get the most of your books, or to hide piles of mail.The eternal problem of space: there is never enough. However there is a solution: interior designers work to respect our needs and desires by  technically adapting
them ...

Crockery: Low chests, or two-piece chests, china cabinets are making a come back in both kitchens and dinning rooms. All this furniture – from rustic to design – also have a presentation aspect to them. Sometimes, wire netting will replace doors. Table crockery is no longer hidden. It is exhibited, shown to all. It is closer to us.
Display cabinets, and semainiers, shelves, and corner shelves, and hosiers are best to keep all you need handy…Jars, boxes, and bottles are part of the scenery.
So are cooking utensils which are leaving the darkness of drawers to come and hang out above the work surfaces.

Books: Book lovers can not live without them. Classic and made of precious wood for conventional lounges, of colourful metal or glass for a design look, the bookshelf is a major element of the living-room.Bookshelves have had their own revolution and have decided not to be straight anymore.Some are oblique with support systems.  
Some have broken lines, inventive racks that will play with volumes. They modify the monotony of lines. A bookshelf can express more than a gloomy alignment of anonymous racks.Another appropriate solution : made to fit shelving.Very practical in oddly shaped rooms, ill positioned windows, unusable corners, radiators set in the
middle of the wall…You can use them to the infinite. Bear corner shelves in mind.

Music: In the multimedia era, storage arrangements are organized in response. Audiovisual and TV furniture will make life easier. VCR, television, computer and DVD player can all fit in, cables included. They save space, are modular and often come with wheels. The overwhelming CDs also find their place: they have specific furniture for themselves. CD units in wood or glass, built lengthwise will allow you to see them clearly.

Are you being won over by the storage obsession? Then do not neglect the smallest details: a magazine rack by the sofa, a coat rack and an umbrella rack in the entrance: every thing in its place.Now, you can relax...
